The early 4th down call.

[Newhouser]

We need to have a play, or package or just the ability to line up and get that. When we failed and with a QB wide...that play call spoke volumes. No confidence and unc knew it.

Rewatching that play...looked like Tommy went to initiate contact too early with the lineman instead of trying to outrun him...I don't think it that was that bad of a playcall but poorly executed.

On 4th and inches the only play you need to be able to run is a QB sneak.

I know Elmore is playing guard but ur telling me we don't have an H back we can put at FB and give it to Pierre

Shotgun on fourth and inches.

Shotgun on fourth and inches.

Yeah, that situation PLEADS for the QB to rush the O to the line, take the direct snap from C, and dive to one side of the C and pick up the ez 1st down.

You know, like Dungey did on the regular.

It’s so funny everyone treats Brady like he’s some god for sneaking it so much. Yes the guy is probably the best ever, but of all things... somehow he’s the only QB ever that realized wow... I should just sneak this behind my center/guard for one foot.

Most underused play in football history.

 

[upperdeck]

you need a center/qb that can run the play. we cant seem to get a center with any power.

In recent history. The QB sneak was a staple play for a long, long time.

Should never be in the gun on 4th and less than a yard. It completely takes away the advantage of time and distance. The gun negates the short distance by allowing the D time to penetrate. Its strategy 101.

I thought the same thing live. The straight arm cost him. If he just goes for the spot he gets it.

I was fine with the play call. I’ve seen that call pick up inches a million times.

Just put Elmore under center and someone like Bear behind him. I’m sure between the two of them, they could get 6 inches of push off the line.

Opposing DLs against our OL in short yardage situations...
